I for one am not 100% perfect in the ID of ball python morphs. I don't think anybody can lay claim to that. Think about what everybody told the first person who thought they had a new morph and showed the picture of a yellow belly before it was a well known morph, or the specter, fire, genetic banded, Genetic Granite... It took me some searching before I could ID some of these and others particularly the specter still eludes me. If I got something that hinted at what people have said a specter looked like I would definately need to get a second opinion on it from someone much more familiar with it. I do remember when I started I had trouble telling some pastels from normals. (Why is this nice bright colored snake a normal, but this dull one a pastel? Didn't realize it was all in the green eyes and the fact that different kinds of pastels exist from Lemon to blond.) I like to look at these new member questions in a slightly different light, when we stop seeing the new member questions come up then we should be concerned over the future of our hobby. Without the new blood coming in our hobby will loose traction and start to contract. Kinda like other things going on right now!
